A few of them.
As a kid I didn't like butter on my bread for sandwiches & was told that if I didn't have it, my insides would grow together.
, I called BS on it even before I knew what BS was as a little kid,

If you come in the house on a cold day, take your coat off, or else you'll catch a cold.
If you get warts from touching a toad, bury your clothes in the backyard.
If you pick a scab off a wound, one more scab will come back. If you pick that one off, you'll have a scar for the rest of your life.
If you are looking for a job at a certain place, keep going back and ask them again and again if there are any jobs available. They will get so sick of looking at you, they will hire you, just so they don't have to look at you again. (I eventually reasoned it out that if they hire me, they will have to look at me all the more.)

My MIL told me that if you touch a 3-legged yellow frog, you will get polio. This is NOT true.
My husband had just turned 2 years old when he caught polio. MIL said it was from that darned yellow frog. Only problem with that is who lets her 2 year old get involved with a frog to begin with. Don't you think the kid should be at least 16?
They were stationed in Texas at the time, and there are yellow (ish) frogs there.
